Communicating Branch of the Peroneal Artery

Communicating arteries are arterial vessels that are interconnected and provide blood supply to the same group of muscles, organs, tissues and body systems and, therefore, have the same origin. The joint performance by these vessels of the most important functions in the life of the body determines the need for their further study.

Communicating branches refer to the large arterial branches that are part of the arterial circulatory system. Their anatomy and functional features are determined by the ability to interact with each other. The branches of small diameter, from which communicating vessels are formed, enter the area of ​​​​the peripheral circulation during embryonic development. The commonality of structure and function with each subsequent branch is ensured by the vascularization of the thigh muscles due to a common origin.

From a physiological point of view, the importance of arterial vessels lies in their role in the hemodynamics of the body, i.e. ability to provide oxygen and nutrients, as well as blood purification. A feature of communicating arteries is the presence of many channels through which exchange occurs between different circulatory systems. Due to the ability to maintain the oxygen function of the blood, communicating arteries are part of the microcirculatory system of the body. Main feature
